The robot is fitted with a visor that rises automatically, revealing the articulation of the jaw. The device can also alternately open and close its arms. A mechanical, analog-programmable controller inside the chest provides power and control for the arms via a cylindrical, grooved cam that triggers high-torque worm gears attached to a central pulley. The robot also moves its wrists and thumbs.
